Barren Branches

Freedom vs fright

Rights vs fights

Lack vs privilege

Lions vs tigers

Branches vs stumps

Naked vs clothed

Justice vs injustice

One for all vs all for none

Stripped vs blossoming

Nests vs homelessness

Vision vs blindness

Justice is blind

Justice denied

No Justice for peace or poverty

A tree has been stripped and butchered

Blood will flow

Change has been overridden

Trampling the feminine power

That is feared

Weep with the birds

Their home has been stolen

Weep silently

No one wants to hear

the sound of their own violence

But now

There are no more words for this

Row your boat

Or wade in the water
